I painstakingly created a form in December and opened and used it several
times since then but now it is nowhere to be found! I have no idea why but
that form and another table that I created are missing from the database
(which still exists). Can anyone tell me why this might happen and is there
anyway to locate it?
 
Is your database shared with other users or are you the only person who has
access to it?
 
Another thing I would recommend is to check and make sure that you are not
using an old version of your database somehow.

Use Windows Explorer and check for other copies of the MDB.
 
At the time, I believe I was the only person with access to it. I have
already started to create a new one. Is there a way that I can make a "read-
only" version that will prevent people from tinkering with the crucial
parts of the database?
 
The easiest way is to put the database in a folder that only you have access
to. Don't deploy it to users until you have a complete user interface
complete and don't give them access to the database window.
